Notice of Preliminary Permit Application Accepted for Filing and
Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and Competing Applications;
Lewis Ridge Pumped Storage, LLC
On November 22, 2021, Lewis Ridge Pumped Storage, LLC., filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of a pumped
storage hydropower project located in Bell County, Kentucky. The sole
purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit
holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A
preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any
land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters
owned by others without the owners' express permission.
The proposed Lewis Ridge Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project would
consist of the following: (1) A 5,700-foot-long, 77-foot-high zoned
rockfill embankment ring dike; (2) an upper reservoir with a surface
area of 30 acres and a storage capacity of 2,300 acre-feet; (3) a
4,987-foot-long, 20-foot-diameter power tunnel; (4) a 120-foot-high,
30-foot-diameter steel surge tower; (5) a 420-foot-long, 80-foot-wide
powerhouse containing four 54-megawatt (MW) reversible pump-turbines
with a total capacity of 216 MW; (6) a 1,700-foot-long, 3.5-foot-
diameter pipeline from a concrete pump station on the Cumberland River
for fill/refill water; (7) a 1,400-foot-long, 100-foot-high zoned
rockfill dam with a 5,900-foot-long, 10-foot-high zoned rockfill
embankment ring dike surrounding (8) a 23 acre lower reservoir with a
storage capacity of 2,300 acre-feet; and (9) a 1.3-mile-long, 161
kilovolt overhead transmission line. The proposed project would have an
estimated annual generation of 605,000 megawatt-hours.
